Shiatsu is a Japanese therapy that works on the same
theories as Acupuncture, namely Traditional Chinese
Medicine. It is performed fully clothed on a futon on the
floor although it can also be received seated in a chair
for those unable to comfortabley get down to floor level.
The techniques employed by Shiatsu practitioners
include applying varying degrees of pressure to the
body with their hands, and also using stretches and
gentle manipulation to help the body relax and therefore
rebalance the Energy or Qi flow throughout the body.
The effect can be both relaxing and revitalising. Regular
sessions can help prevent the build up of stress and
tension thereby reducing the probability of illness and injury.
Shiatsu can help with a variety of problems including:-
- Stress and Fatigue
- Muscle and Joint Problems
- General Aches and Pains
- Neck, Shoulder and Back Pain
- Anxiety and Depression
- Menstrual and Fertility Problems
- Digestive Disorders
- Insomnia
- Headaches and Migraines
